A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
After disembarking at Poulton-le-Fylde railway station in order to travel onwards to Blackpool Victoria hospital to visit a relative there, we made our way the short distance to the bus stops at St Chads Church to take a bus there and some local residents we spoke to said this company who run the 76 bus service (St Annes-Kirkham-Great Eccleston-Poulton-le-Fylde-Blackpool) were very good with friendly bus drivers and good quality buses.

We found it a very pleasant bus ride indeed on a modern clean bus and indeed the driver was very helpful on hearing that we lived 60 miles away and had never visited this hospital before. Has anyone else come across this bus company ?

IIRC They won an award at the Coach Operator of the Year a few years back.

They are highly regarded in the trade.

Yes, when I lived on the Fylde Coast, my college would regularly hire their coaches for various trips. I've also used their tendered Fylde Villager services numerous times. The fleet is super modern and kept in tip top condition and renewed regularly. I understand the coaches and buses they operate are mostly leased.
